The Point of View GTX 680 is called “Beast” for two reasons, First is the 1228MHz Boost clock which comes out of box and second is its triple slot cooling design. Standard clock speed remains set at 1162MHz while the 2GB GDDR5 memory also runs at stock 1502MHz (6008MHz Effective).

There are three fans located on the cooler shroud, the center one is 90mm while the other two are 80mm and operate alot quieter than the reference solution.
